8 servings
- 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch sticks or coins
- ¾ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¾ cup water
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis treats warming spices like ginger as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/8 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
Ingredient noteTurmeric can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid turmeric, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly smashed
- 2–3 sprigs fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pack the carrot sticks tightly into a clean 1-quart mason jar (or divide between two 16-oz jars). Tuck the garlic cloves, ginger slices, and thyme sprigs, if using, in among the carrots.
